Just noticed that there are two new unique clans.

Crystal horde, filled with high level bots?

Can anyone explain what exactly is going on?

they came automatically when the first 35 of the highscores are at least level 50.
they are mostly the clones of the first 35 players, however there are some changes in them, they are made a bit tougher. they declare war for the first 5 clans and after 7 defeats they'll go away for a while, then come back and start it all over again.

Thanks for the info.

Having a new horde pop-up suddenly was quite weird to say the least.

Do they attack other random players or only those they are in war with? Do they have any SE (for looting)?

they do have SE for looting. But there clans have max on a lot of buildings making them interesting to fight.

I got like 200k from them already, but lost almost 50k from their strong members

Just an additional info. Crystal players (bots) can hit you even if you are under 15% of HP.

When does the second crystal horde come? When there are another 35 players over level 50?

When they come back after the 7 defeats, do they come back at a higher level (I notice on world 1 there is 1 clan hovering around the 50-60 and another around 80) or is it the second clan that replicates the top players again?

Edit: how long does it take for them to come back after their 7th defeat?

When they come back, they are "copies" of the current above level 50 players. So they get stronger but at a rate matching the actual players. They take about 5 days or a week, not less though, to come back. The second clan is a kind of mystary to me since i asked Hungarian players and they said on Hungarian doomlord there is only 1 Crystal clan

They attack in random but ofcourse the most attacks go to players whos clans are at war with them

The Crystals have (apparently) disappeared off World 2

Damn, I was actually able to use my Duel Points there for a while

They attack in random but ofcourse the most attacks go to players whos clans are at war with them
